Where to stay in Andros:

As a resident of the island myself, I have found the best places to stay while on the island.



Vilette Adonis, is a group of detached traditional style dwellings, amidst fruit trees and vegetable gardens; a true ecological paradise. Eight kilometers from the port of Gavrio, each rental unit comes with free use of late model car. Great panoramic views.

Andros island, Greece:

Andros island is the northernmost of the Cyclades, clearly one of the most beautiful of the group.
Its uniqueness lies in the multitude of mountain ranges, riverbeds, valleys and the numbers of streams which criss-cross its landscape.

Gavrio is the island's main port located in the west side of the island. One of the most interesting features of Gavrio is the tower of St. Peter (Agios Petros), one of the most important Geometric structures to have survived  to this date.

Hora

Andros or "Hora" is the capital of the island, located in the South-East part, and it's the island's second most important harbor. It is a very attractive town, with neo-classical mansions built side by side traditional cycladic homes.

Andros is host to the Archaeological Museum with finds from the Geometric, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. There is also a Nautical museum and a Modern Art museum.

Fun

There are good swimming beaches at Nimborio, Paraporti, Korthi bay, near Batsi, Gavrio, Vitali and elsewhere.
The island has excellent tourist amenities and can easily deal with the steadily increasing numbers of visitors who choose it for its natural beauty, its attractive villages, historical monuments, superb beaches and medicinal springs.

Our favorite beach: Chrisi Ammos (Golden Sand) 1km south of Gavrio. Come play with us a friendly, beach volley game.
